As you grow older your fraternity is not your priority. That's just the way it is. In college, my senior year I spent most of my time looking for jobs and dealing with a brutal recruiting season. Post college, I'm more concerned with figuring out what I want to do for the rest of my life and how to make lots of money so I can retire young because this working world is brutal. There is no way that I would make eliminating Greek stereotypes as a priority for myself. I think when I was most involved, I still didn't care anyway and I sure as heck don't now.

I don't walk around with political tshirts and pins from countries I've visited, so I don't see how this is different.

We are not the NPHC. There is a heavy emphasis on our college years when it comes to greek life. It's not good or bad, but just different.

My sorority is still a priority. Not THE priority or THE ONLY priority but A priority. It will always be A priority as long as God blesses me with funds to be financial and the time and resources to be active. Maybe that's about the NPHC culture that stresses not only lifetime membership but VISIBLE lifetime membership. However, there are also IFC and NPC members who feel the same as I do.

Either case, we should have all learned how to multitask when we were college students. People can't occasionally wear 'nalia and be an XYZ while focusing on (God/their spirituality and) family and career? I didn't think this thread was about an either/or scenario.

In his last paragraph, Rudey says it isn't good or bad, just different. But he begins his post with "as you grow older your fraternity is not your priority. That's just the way it is." That reads like a value judgment to me.
